May 7th-13th is officially Water Week in Hopkinsville and Christian County after a proclamation made Wednesday morning at Jeffers Bend Environmental Center.
Hopkinsville Mayor J.R. Knight and Christian County magistrate Magaline Ferguson were joined by officials from Governor Andy Beshear’s office, Hopkinsville Water Environment Association, and the Pennyrile Area Development District (PADD).
PADD Infrastructure Coordinator Kyle Cunningham encouraged residents to learn where their water comes from.
Jeffers Bend will host school children during that week to showcase their facilities, but official Water Week activities will be pushed back a few weeks to coincide with Take Kids Fishing Day.
Children and parents alike will take to Little River at Metcalfe Lane on Saturday, May 27 from 9:00 AM to Noon for the annual event. Pre-registration through May 20th will be $2 per child and adult. The cost rises to $3 on May 27th.
On that day, there will be water activities for all ages, including; a water slide, Hopkinsville Fire Department water exercises, a chance to tour the Hopkinsville Water Treatment Plant, and more. A hotdog lunch will also be served.
